1 HEDIS/CAHPS 101 Minnesota Measurement and Reporting Workgroup MNsure s Accessibility & Equal Opportunity (AEO) office can provide this information in accessible formats for individuals with disabilities. Additionally, the AEO office can provide information on disability rights and protections to access MNsure programs. The AEO office can be reached via MNSURE ( ) or AEO@MNsure.org.

2 Objectives Provide introduction to NCQA Identify HEDIS/CAHPS basics Discuss various components related to HEDIS/CAHPS usage, including State use, specifically Minnesota Issuer performance variation Consumer display Composite vs. individual measures 2

3 NCQA BACKGROUND 3

4 NCQA S Mission and Vision To improve the quality of health care Measurement We can t improve what we don t measure Transparency For measurement to be accepted we have to show how we measure Accountability Once we can measure we can expect and track improvement 4

5 Examples Strengths How NCQA Measures Quality Standards Structure and Process Patient Centered Medical Home (e.g., After hours access) Expedient to review One standard may relate to several outcomes More predictive of subsequent performance Performance Measures Process and Outcomes HEDIS (e.g., comprehensive diabetes care) Measurement alone may improve outcomes Limitations Generally not actionable Sample size constraints Expense of clinical data collection Source: Institute of Medicine, Performance Measurement,

6 Performance Measures: Cornerstone of NCQA Work Measure developed, tested, approved for release Plans & providers collect data and submit results to NCQA Auditors validate results NCQA uses/reports measure results Quality Compass State of Health Care Report Health Insurance Rankings Results to States Report Cards Quality Dividend Calculator Accreditation, Recognition Scoring Medicare Advantage Results to CMS 6

7 HEDIS 7

8 HEDIS 2013 Measurement HEDIS = An evolving set of standard specifications for measuring performance of health plans, physicians and physician groups 80 measures across 5 domains of care Effectiveness of Care (48) Access/Availability of Care (6) Experience of Care (3) Utilization and Relative Resource Use (16) Health Plan Descriptive Information (7) 8

9 HEDIS Measure Life Cycle 9

10 I. Measure Selection - National Groups Have Prioritized Domains and Gaps for Measurement 10

11 1. Measure Selection - Internal Investment and External Funding Internal Investment HEDIS (health plan, physician, ACO) Recognition programs (Diabetes, Heart Stroke, PCMH) Accreditation programs (Disease Managements, Wellness and Health promotion Physician Quality Reporting System (CMS) New measure concepts (Global Cardiovascular Risk, Overuse, Total Cost) Contracts and Grants Special populations Geriatric, dual eligible Psychiatric (inpatient), behavioral health Pediatric Cancer (inpatient/ outpatient) E-measures (new/ respecification) Patient report measures (Health Outcomes Survey) 11

12 II. Development and III. Comment Committee on Performance Measurement Oversees entire development process, approves final measure Measure experts, consumers, health plans, private and public sector Measurement Advisory Panels Experts in the area mix of stakeholders Field Testing Public Comment Minimum 30 day period Relevant Scientifically sound Feasible 12

13 IV. First Year and Public Reporting First Year Analysis NCQA collects results but does not publicly report Analysis for feasibility, appropriate variation Public reporting Accreditation Plan level performance to private and public sector 13

14 V. Evaluation Purpose Periodically evaluate measures based on HEDIS desirable attributes and performance Most measures are reevaluated on a 3-year cycle (earlier if needed) Process Reviewing the clinical guidelines and health care delivery system Soliciting feedback from panels and measure users including health plans Analysis of results from previous years to ensure that the data is consistent 14

15 Data Reporting Data reflect events that occurred during the measurement year (calendar year) Data are reported to NCQA in June of the reporting year Example: HEDIS 2012 = 2011 data Reflects events that occurred Jan Dec 2011 HEDIS 2012 data are reported in June 2012 All results must be audited by an NCQA- Certified Auditor 15

16 Three HEDIS Data Sources Administrative Medical Record Survey 16

17 Clinical Measures Data Collection Defining the denominator is critical Administrative: Claims and encounter data Denominator: Based on all eligible members of the population Hybrid: Combination of administrative data and medical record review Denominator: Based on a systematic sample of eligible members 17

18 Anatomy of a Measure Specification Summary of Changes Description Definitions Eligible Population Denominator Administrative Specification Hybrid Specification Exclusions (optional) Notes Data Elements for Reporting Numerator 18

22 What Is The CAHPS Survey? Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) funds and manages the program CAHPS Health Plan Survey 5.0H version used for HEDIS reporting beginning in 2013 AHRQ Core questionnaire HEDIS supplemental set 22

23 What Is The CAHPS Survey? Collects information on member experience with the health plan Eligible Population criteria Provides a general indication of how well the health plan meets member expectations Random sample 65 questions (adult commercial) 57 questions (adult Medicaid) 23

24 Types of CAHPS Surveys Health Plan* (Adult and Child) Clinician & Group Surgical Care American Indian Dental Plan Experience of Care and Health Outcomes (ECHO) Home Health Care Hospital In-Center Hemodialysis Nursing Home Supplemental Item Sets CAHPS Item Set for Children with Chronic Conditions * CAHPS Item Set for People with Mobility Impairments CAHPS Cultural Competence Item Set CAHPS Health Information Technology Item Set CAHPS Item Set for Addressing Health Literacy CAHPS Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) Item Set* * Part of HEDIS 24

26 CAHPS 5.0H Survey Results Combined into Ratings Rating of All Health Care Using any number from 0 to 10, where 0 is the worst health care possible and 10 is the best health care possible, what number would you use to rate all your health care in the last 12 months? Rating of Personal Doctor Rating of Specialist Seen Most Often Rating of Health Plan 26

27 CAHPS 5.0H Survey Results Combined into Composites Getting Needed Care In the last 12 months, how often was it easy to get appointments with specialists? In the last 12 months, how often was it easy to get the care, tests, or treatment you thought you needed through your health plan? Claims Processing (adult commercial only) Customer Service Getting Care Quickly How Well Doctors Communicate Shared Decision Making Plan Information on Costs (adult commercial only) 27
